Gotham City Under the Night Sky

Gotham City is eerily quiet at night. In this city rife with darkness and crime, walking alone at night is the most dangerous thing you can do, because no one knows where a criminal might emerge from...

Some people believe that Hell's Kitchen is a place rife with criminals and where people live in misery, making it one of the areas with the highest crime and death rates.

However, Hell's Kitchen is no match for Gotham City, especially when Gotham City is shrouded in night.

Moreover, Hell's Kitchen has undergone a dramatic change during this period. The Hell's Kitchen gang, which was originally part of the Kingpin gang, suddenly started doing good deeds, fighting crime, and even guiding people towards Buddhism. This left some of the superheroes active in Hell's Kitchen somewhat bewildered, wondering if this was yet another of Kingpin's conspiracies...

However, the crime rate in Hell's Kitchen did indeed drop sharply. After becoming a Buddhist Kingpin not only gained insight into the criminals' psychology, but also had many other methods besides reforming them. According to him, it was the wrath of the Asuras under the Buddha's seat, which, when combined with a scripture, could send people to meet the Buddha!

Gotham City is different. Gotham City is not without superheroes; the famous Batman is here to Guardian the peace of the city. But even though Batman patrols Gotham City every night under the cover of darkness, he still cannot stop all the crimes in Gotham City, and countless people are still injured and killed in the darkness.

Especially in the last few days, Batman's friend and partner, Commissioner James Gordon, told Batman that one after another, vibrant lives had fallen under the cover of night and never woken up again.

Commissioner Gordon found no trace of the killer, as if the killer were a ghost, appearing and disappearing in an instant...

With a loud "thump," under the cover of night, Batman pinned a small Gotham City gang leader against the wall, his terrifying aura pressing down on the leader.

"Tell me, what information do you have here? About that elusive ghost who's been appearing and disappearing without a trace lately!" Batman's deep, hoarse voice rang out, and combined with Batman attire and aura, it brought immense pressure to the young leader.

"I don't know! I don't know anything!" the junior leader cried out in a panic. "Some of my men have recently died at the hands of Ghost Shadow. I also want to know who's causing all this trouble, killing so many people. It's not just you who wants to find him; I want to find him too! It's ruined my business lately..."

"A biker robbery gang trying to run a business?" Batman gave the young leader a deep look and asked disdainfully.

"Why wouldn't we need that? If there's no one on the street, who are my brothers going to rob? We can't rob our own people, can we? We haven't had a single customer in days... Waaah!" Upon hearing the question, the little leader suddenly lost all fear of Batman and loudly retorted, but before he could finish speaking, Batman knocked him unconscious on the spot.

"Hak foo, analyze whether the most likely explanation is what I'm thinking..." After knocking out the young leader, Batman took him to Commissioner Gordon and then contacted his Butler Alfred, to ask.

Batman had a vague idea about the so-called ghostly crimes of the past few days, but he still wanted to hear his Butler Alfred's data analysis.

"Yes, sir." Hak foo responded and quickly began to retrieve Batman's database for analysis. He soon obtained the answer, "Sir, judging from the situation, this incident is somewhat similar to the Shadowkhan you encountered last time. However, compared to the groups of Shadowkhan, these guys seem to be operating separately, and their numbers are not large. It is suspected that there is someone controlling them from behind."

"In that case, let's deploy the weapons I've already planned!" Batman nodded, a chill running through his voice. "Any supernatural force that dares to invade and threaten Gotham City will cease to exist!"

Under the cover of night, small machines flew out of Batman's Batcave. They were extremely small and lightweight, and quickly disappeared into various corners of Gotham City after leaving the Batcave.

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

In some corners of Gotham City, the hidden machines successively released lasers, instantly destroying the locked-on Shadow Warrior. Even after passing through the Shadow Warrior, the lasers did not cause any additional damage, as if they had calculated the Shadow Warrior ' tolerance very clearly.

However, Batman didn't obtain this information on his own; he deduced it from when he saw Robet fight the Shadowkhan.

With the help of these machines, Batman was no longer overwhelmed, and Gotham City finally enjoyed a truly peaceful night.

Of course, this machine is not without its weaknesses. The first is its energy supply. Due to the pursuit of small size and stealth, these machines do not carry much energy. Two or more lasers will deplete the machine's energy.

Therefore, these machines are merely a means for Batman to temporarily maintain stability in Gotham City. What he truly needs to do is find the controller behind the Shadow Warrior!

"Huh? It seems our Little Bat came prepared! Could it be that he's encountered a similar power before? Otherwise, how could he handle it so easily?" Inside Arkham Asylum, the Joker stroked his Mask and said with some delight.

"That's better! If it were that easy to make you stressed and overwhelmed, I wouldn't find any fun in it..."

"Didn't you have a contingency plan? Then I'll see if you have enough. After all, I can send out an endless number of Shadow Warrior, don't you agree, my little Ikka?"

"Waaaaah! I've encountered a monster, boss! When are you coming to save me?" Ikka sighed in utter frustration as his consciousness was completely suppressed. Not only was he unable to control the Joker's body, but even the power of the Mask was completely stripped away.

Ikka had never encountered a situation like this before. It wasn't that he hadn't encountered hosts before, but those hosts would slowly be devoured by his power after putting on the Mask. Never before had a host been able to turn around and plunder his power like the Joker, leaving him completely unable to resist.

Even Ikka felt that the evil in this terrifying guy's heart was even more terrifying than that of his boss Tarak. In that Dark Dimension, there were few beings more evil than the Joker!

"Huh? Little Ikka, you actually have a boss? That's quite an unexpected surprise! Is your boss even more powerful than you?" The Joker slowly stroked the Mask on his face, as if caressing the face of a lover. His voice was extremely gentle, but his words sent a chill down Ikka's spine, causing her entire consciousness to tremble. She could only hide there, feigning death, daring not to answer the Joker's question...
